What customers say about Angelus paint
★★★★★
“I am repainting and decorating cowboy boots for centerpieces for a party. This paint is fabulous to work with in a highly recommend it to anyone doing a special project.”
Jone H., Flower Mound, Texason White Acrylic Leather Paint, 2026
★★★★★
“Love Angelus paints!! I’ve tried other leather paints that end up thick and clumpy over time but Angelus goes on smooth and stays good for a long time. I use it to paint leather books and it doesn’t even need a sealer.”
Elisabeth W., Raleigh, North Carolinaon Brown Acrylic Leather Paint, 2026
★★★★★
“I used the white as a base coat for some neon colors and it did an amazing job. It was competing with a black shoe and helped tremendously. Amazing and love this paint!”

Reviews from customers on AngelusDirect.com, the official Angelus store, where Angelus averages 4.8 stars across more than 45,000 reviews.
Yes. Once dry, Angelus Acrylic Leather Paint is waterproof and stays flexible. Acrylic Finisher adds extra protection from scuffs and scratches.
Can I use it on glass or metal?
Yes, mixed with 2-Hard, on rigid surfaces that don’t bend. Never use 2-Hard on leather or anything that flexes; it cracks. See the material guide for every surface.
1 oz. and 4 oz. in all 84 colors. Pint and Quart in 79 colors.
Should I use leather paint or leather dye?
Paint sits on top and can cover any color, light over dark included. Dye soaks in and keeps the leather’s natural feel, and works best going darker. See Angelus Leather & Suede Dye.
